Salvation is the latest work in my Empathetic Robot series, and finds us back in a urban setting and examining the human condition of hope.
As an artist who works best under deadlines, this project proved no different. By mid-August I decided I wanted to showcase a new painting for the up coming Lightbox Expo Online to be held in the beginning of September. This provided me less than a months time to finalize the concept, gather my references, and execute the work to finish. Not too difficult a problem as a typical deadline, except that I had two Magic cards and a book cover all due that same week in September!
Years of time management kicked in, parsing out my time with sketches, efficiency in preliminary drawing information, and staggering the work load so I did not have three or four paintings all needing polishing in that last week.
Although I cannot share the three other projects (you will all see them eventually!), I do have some of the process steps of Salvation documented here.
I feel the emotion 🙂 thanks for sharing
Awesome….
Stunning piece, I like the result! Cannot wait to see the other projects!
Thank you Hena. I am always working on more…even now!
That woman’s expression is perfect for the piece. Wonderful emotional piece
Thanks! It is very interesting to look at this work of art. You can feel its emotionality (the way they look at each other…) I especially liked the compositional solution and the way the metal is drawn, how the color scheme harmoniously combines warm and cold shades… Cool!
Awesome post, thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next, Donato!
I always like looking at sketches and the process of creating.
Another great painting! I have all of your Empathetic Robot paintings in my inspiration folder 🙂
Amazing paint job as always. Love your work to the core Donato. Have you thought on releasing more tutorials?
This is good to see. Thanks for sharing your process
Great emotional piece! Am curious about the blast marks on the ground … is it from the robot landing? Did she fall there? Aaah, questions.
I really hope to one day work that fast. Time management is definitely a skill.
This peice turned out so good
Outstanding!
I love your drawings and paintings, Donato! Separately, I (seriously) am doing a job right now designing an empathetic owl wizard character, so this is timely for me. 🙂
